Takebayashi-do Honpo, a long-established Japanese confectionary store founded in 1773, which was forced to close in April 2022, will reopen on February 16, 2024 (Friday). The new Chikurindo Honpo will offer customers amazake manju, which has remained unchanged since its establishment, and will also take on the challenge of selling Zenjiro, a new brand of Japanese sweets launched with patissier Hirohiro Tsujiguchi.
Miso (fermented soybean paste) is kneaded into the amazake-based dough to bring out its rich flavor and delicate saltiness. The dough is filled with white bean paste made with plenty of Japanese chestnuts, so that the rich flavor and natural sweetness of chestnuts can be fully enjoyed.
The amazake-based dough and the red bean paste inside are made with high cacao chocolate from Vietnam and Peru, creating a rich flavor. Black pepper is added to the crust as a secret ingredient, and the sesame seed topping enhances the deep flavor.
Pistachios, known as the “Queen of Nuts,” are lavishly added to the amazake-based dough and white bean paste inside. The mellow and rich pistachio flavor is pushed to the forefront. It is an elegant product that takes the traditional manju to a new level.
This financier is richly flavored with Uji green tea from Kyoto. By kneading malt into the dough, it has a new moist texture. The sweetness and texture of Dainagon azuki beans accentuate the Japanese flavor.
This financier is lavishly decorated with Toyama-bocha (stick tea) from Fujiokaen, a teahouse in Toyama. Toyama-bocha is a roasted green tea made by roasting the stems of green tea using far-infrared rays, and is characterized by its sweetness and soft taste. This product allows you to enjoy the aroma and elegant taste of tea all at once.
Among the malt financier series, this product contains the highest amount of malt. You can enjoy the rich malt flavor and aroma and moist new texture to your heart’s content.

The mysterious scenery of Lake Shirakawa in the town of Iide in southern Yamagata Prefecture can be seen only during two months in spring. In spring, a large amount of melt water flows into Lake Shirakawa from the Iide mountain range, one of Japan’s 100 most famous mountains, where there is heavy snowfall. When the lake is full of water, it creates a fantastic sight of white willow trees as if they are growing out of the water.
